Not feeling as hungry as what most moms are experiencing in 25 weeks, and baby is slightly small, is it normal?

Question

Hi, doctor says my baby is slightly small and asks me to keep eating. But I don’t really feel hungry in between meals. Usually I will have full meals such as noodles and rice. I may just snack a bit before dinner but this seems not enough for baby to grow bigger. Anyone experiencing this? I don’t really like sweet food and biscuits unless I’m really hungry at work. How should I eat to make baby grow faster? #advicepls

Are you eating normally or still have symptoms of nausea that still affected your appetite? If no nausea and eating normally, I heard baby can put on weight if you eat durian (if you like durian) as it is high in folic acid (beware! and sugar) but otherwise it is normal for baby to be small if you and your spouse are already small frame and you are taking your supplements and fluids regularly - all the best!
